Black & Decker JW400 jar/can opener

Kick your man to the curb and consider picking up this handy replacement, which opens jars without the machismo. The “opening center” can handle most containers, from a jar of pickles to a can of tomato sauce. Simply place the jar under the adjustable arm and press a button. In just a couple of seconds, even the most cantankerous of containers will open. It’s especially useful for the elderly or those suffering from carpal tunnel. The cutting blade detaches for easy cleaning. Other, less expensive models, are available without the can opener; $49.99 at amazon.com.
